Application filed December 28, 1904. Serial No. 238,638-

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FELIX KoHN, a subject of the Emperor ofAustria-Hungary, and a resident of Vienna, Austria-Hungary, haveinvented certain new and useful Im provements in Rocking-Chairs, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to chairs, commonly known as rocking-chairs, andhas for its object to provide a chair of this description which can beeasily manufactured and which will at the same time be strong anddurable, as well as comfortable.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1is a side view of a rocking-chair made according to my invention, andFig. 2 is a front view of the same.

A represents the rockers of the chair, which in the present case aremade from one piece of material bent into an ellipse with the endsoverlapping, as at A, said ends being fastened together in any suitablemanneras, for instance, by screws A The back-frame B, to which the backG is fastened in any convenient manner, may also be made in one piece ofmaterial, which is bentinto a U shape. The said back-frame B is securedto the rockers A at two placesfor instance, by screws, as shown at B andB The elliptical form of the rockers A makes it possible when assemblingthe parts to adjust this back-frame B in a variety of positions, so thatthe inclination of the back-frame B and back 0 may be more or less, asdesired. The seat portion D fits between the rockers and into theback-frame and is secured at D by means of screws or other fasteningdevices to the rockers A and to the back-frame B in any convenientmanner at D By making the rockers A in the form of an ellipse a gentleand easy rocking motion'of the chair is secured, and said rockers A alsoat the same time form side portions or arm -rests for said chair. Theseat portion and back portion of said chair are also capable of a largevariety of adjustments to suit existing conditions or individual tastes.This range of adjustment is limited in existing chairs owing to theirconstruction, which necessitates the arrangement of said parts incertain positions. My invention also does away with a great numleer ofparts, and thus makes the chair simple in construction and easy ofmanufacture.

Various modifications may be made with- "out departing from the natureof my invenscribing witnesses.
